Indigicade

About Indigicade

In the first installment of the Indigenous Routes Collective and Dames Making Games collaboration, Indigicade, a group of six indigenous girls and women (ages 13-24) were provided with training and mentorship to produce their own video games from scratch.

Over the course of one month, the participants learned directly from experienced artists, musicians, game designers and programmers from the DMG community about the process of developing small, personal games. With a focus on play, storytelling, and meaningful mechanics, the program sought to introduce young women to a wide range of possibilities of for them in the world of videogames.

The first phase of the Indigicade project was generously supported by the Canada Council for the Arts – Media Arts Section.
